[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an outlier because I dislike hearing that. There is no one way of being a good mother and people from the outside rarely can see/accurately whether you are a good fit for your child or not. [/quote] Yeah I guess, but I wouldn't read so much into a compliment. I interpret it as, your kid seems happy and you seem happy. Good job at seeming to like each other. My sister has a VERY high needs child and really struggled to adjust to motherhood after idealizing it in her mind for a long time. Her experience gave me a lot of compassion for parents who are doing a ton more work than I am, but still struggling with the day to day. It's a lot harder for her to be a mother than it is for me, so I try to remember that when people pat me on the back for successfully raising my super easy kids.[/quote]
